Libguestfs - Apr 2021 - LVM flakey failures

Forgive my ignorance but I am not sure how to inject the newer systemd/udev
into the appliance.

Debian is always pretty slow on adding the latest code so I'm guessing I
need to compile systemd/udev from source here (v248).

However, will supermin use my installed binaries or will it download the
package from the apt repo?

(Of course I can just copy-in the package to the appliance post creation
for some basic testing at the moment)

If you're using supermin then it should just happen as soon as you
upgrade it on the host system.

It copies the installed binaries in, but they must be known to dpkg
(IOW you must build a new systemd_<VERSION>.deb file and install it).
